Pear Crisp

This easy and delicious Pear Crisp in a cast-iron skillet is packed with fresh, mouthwatering pears and features a flavorful cinnamon streusel topping! Sweet and perfectly crisp, this crowd-pleasing dessert is fast to put together and is perfect when paired with a scoop of ice cream on top.

Crisp is one of the easiest desserts to make. Everything can be mixed and headed to the oven in less than 10 minutes. But first things first: the pears. What pears are best for pear crisp? Personally, I think Bartlett pears are best for this recipe because they are sweet and extremely aromatic. Peel, core, and slice the pears to about ⅛- to ¼-inch thick. Next, generously grease the cast-iron skillet. Combine the cornstarch with lemon juice and then whisk in the sugar and cinnamon. Toss the sliced pears with the prepared cornstarch mixture and pour the fruit filling into the skillet. Next, make the cinnamon streusel topping. This topping consists of oats, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and butter. Sprinkle the topping over the fruit and bake until the topping is crisp and the fruit is bubbling up.
